Manchester United vs Manchester City | Premier League 25/26 | Full Match | FC 26 - PS5™[4K]

Описание: The Manchester Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City in Round 22 of the 2025–2026 Premier League is not only the earliest kickoff of the matchweek, but also its biggest headline.

This clash marks a new chapter for Manchester United, as it is their first match under interim manager Michael Carrick, following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim in early January 2026. A sense of uncertainty surrounds Old Trafford, but also hope that a change on the touchline can spark a turnaround.

Both teams arrive in inconsistent league form. Manchester City have drawn three consecutive Premier League matches against Sunderland (0–0), Chelsea (1–1) and Brighton (1–1). However, Pep Guardiola’s side have recently regained confidence with a stunning 10–1 win over Exeter in the FA Cup and a solid 2–0 victory against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. United, by contrast, are mired in a winless run, drawing three and losing two of their last five matches, including a 1–2 FA Cup defeat to Brighton.

Recent derby history strongly favors City. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, they cruised to a 3–0 win at the Etihad, with Erling Haaland scoring twice and Phil Foden opening the scoring. Overall, City have won seven of the last ten Manchester Derbies, drawing two and losing just one.

City do face concerns at the back, with John Stones, Rúben Dias and Joško Gvardiol all sidelined through injury. United, meanwhile, welcome back key attacking options Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo after international duty, giving Carrick more firepower up front.

While Manchester City remain favorites on paper, their defensive absences, the pressure of Old Trafford, and the arrival of a “new breeze” in the form of Michael Carrick could be the ingredients for a dramatic upset. This match has been simulated using FC 26 on PS5, with lineups carefully adjusted to reflect the most realistic selections both sides could field on derby day.
